3D Mammography

Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer among women in the United States, second only to skin cancer. Routine breast care is important because early detection of any problem greatly improves your chances of successful treatment. Becoming familiar with how your breasts look and feel can assist you with noticing any changes early on. You should see a healthcare professional right away if you notice changes such as:

  • A lump 
  • Fluid (other than breast milk) leaking from the nipple
  • Nipple irregularities such as dry, cracked, red, thickened, or painful skin, or an inward-turning nipple 
  • Swelling around the breast, collarbone, or armpit
